Thanks for your comments...however I would describe my knowledge as limited and i rely on mainly relaying information from more technically aware members. This manual is actually for a Left-hand drive Seat Alhambra so should be 99% ok for the Mk2 Galaxy....other than the controls will may be rversed left/right but should still be very helpful. Don't know when the 6 speed boxes came in....however it should be kind of obvious whether 6th is there or not :) Quote
mikej Posted May 16, 2010 Report Posted May 16, 2010 Hi Mick sorry for butting in mate but i would guess you have the 2.3 petrol if so you should have the five speed box mate although as already mentioned how could you not tell :) Anyhow is yours a manual or auto and if you have just bought a new downpipe i persume you bought the two gaskets for it, one for the manifold end ( round steel jobby )and the one prior to the cat? Just changed mine and what an absolute pig to get the bolts out at the cat end, had to use a torch and loads of heat. Remember to change the rubber hangers whileyour there, if like mine they were the original jobs ! I do have a original Ford steel gasket for the manifold here if your interested.mike... Quote

m mcquaid Posted May 17, 2010 Report Posted May 17, 2010 hi big kev and mikej. i should have mentioned that i have never driven this car yet, and on a site i was looking at they qouted five and six speed for a mk2. the reason i have not driven it is, i'am disabled and i'am getting adaptions put on the car at the moment. thanks for your opinons on the mk2, just one more chain or timing belt.cheers mick Quote
mikej Posted May 17, 2010 Report Posted May 17, 2010 You mention 16v in your first post so i guess you have the Ford 2.3 petrol like myself, this has a timing chain Not belt! :D Quote
